Fishin in the new year!

After waiting for a week for some rain to give the rivers around here a little color, if not volume, we received some! We received very little, but it should be enough to inspire a few new Steelies to come up river and run for the border! Of course, the border in this instance is the North Fork of the Klaskanine Hatchery. I went out a week ago and found very little water, a little color and one 7 pound buck, but he was beautiful! The Steelie had all his war paint on and had been in the river for a little wile!
The picture I have posted (still learnin) was from last season. It is a 15.5 pound buck! A real beauty! The small lamaglass rod I use, coupled with 8 lb test line made for an exciting 35 min!! Anyway, better get some rest, or I will wake up a bit to late for weekend fishing!
